stick
It's working, so we'll stick with it. We'll use it in the WAC (Tournament).
affects negative trying
Just trying to keep it light. Sometimes, when you have something negative on your mind, it affects the way you play, so we're trying to keep it all positive.
interested
Nate was very interested in him, so he interviewed me about Bob.
affect anybody died hope monkey
I hope that monkey died and doesn't affect anybody else.
defense easy good man post stuff until
I thought our post defense was good tonight. We didn't give them a whole lot of easy stuff until late. Overall, I thought it was a good man defense.
energy game kids
I don't know what you could do different. You got the same game plan, you got the same kids. It's an energy thing they have to do.
bothered catching injuries maybe
That's the breaks. Some years you get injuries and other problems, and this is one of those years for us. We haven't been bothered by it too much in the past, so maybe it's all catching up to us now.
affect against altitude key
Conditioning is such a key on the road, especially in altitude like (Reno and Logan). We let it affect us against Nevada. We can't do it again.
energy everybody hard mind practices
Even the practices are different ? you can see they have more energy here than they do on the road. Everything's more comfortable for everybody at home, so you come out and practice hard because your mind is not on other things.
energy guys home seems
Everything seems to come back when you're at home. The guys have been working hard. You can see they have more energy here.
defense offense score
Our defense worked. They didn't score much, either. We just couldn't get our offense going.
cutting run standard stuff work
They run a lot of standard stuff. We have to work more on our stuff ? cutting down the turnovers, especially.
closer help teams
The new teams are all closer so that should help a little.
coaching focused pleased remember stayed staying team time
I've been coaching a long time and I really don't remember one where we trailed the whole time. But I was pleased with my team for staying focused the whole time. We just stayed there and stayed there.
